Pork Trotters and Peanut Pot

Tips:
1. The key to this soup is to cover the lid and prevent air leakage to ensure that the aroma is all in the pot. I usually use tin foil to seal it, but I don’t have it in the rented house, so I wrap it around the lid with a towel, which can also play a role.
2. Simmer on a low fire, and then open the lid, the fragrant smell comes out, very good smell, the trotters are crispy and not greasy, the peanuts are sweet, a very delicious soup.
